Since then have used s. s. 3. in numerous

Those who know the almost inevitable, per-

welcome your discovery of 8. 8. S. as boon to
humanity. The medical profession always
wary Of proprietary medicines, is coming
slowly, and in some cases secretly, to the use
OF s. 5. y. in eases OF blood disorder. OF course
medicine that cures poisoning In It's worst
form must purify the blsod Of every disorder.

her. She spent many dollars ON the

haps the islands of this tropic cline
from Florida to the Spanish Main
and extending eastward to the Windward
group are but portions of the lost Allan
It's that Plato aud other ancient writers
mention. Who knows? But Porto Rico
looms up in the distance and Desacho and
Mona. Monita, too, which means in
straight English "Little monkey" lies
very near us now. Already twenty-five
miles from Porto Rico the odor of yepe-
tation is waited to us by the south winds
quite as perceptible as the fragrance of
new mown hay from Vermont meadow
on lovely June morning. How deli
ciously agreeable it is With what alac-
rity the Olfactories distend to inhale the
diffusive aroma borne to us upon the pass
ing breeze. While forcing our way
through the passage, we are reminded of
being upon the waterway that De Mar
vaez, Balboa, Pizzaro and Cortez passed
over at time when discovery meant
conquest and the number of peaceful ma
tives who went to their happy hunting
grounds depended much on the strength
of the invader.
Even the English navigators Frobisher,
Drake and Raleigh steered south TO the
Canaries, followed then the course of
Columbus to the West Indies, struck for
the Atlantic coast and moved north to
their objective point. 1t was not till
l602 more direct passage was made by
Gosnod from England to Massachusetts
cutting the former route about 5000 miles.
Thirty-six hours from Mona Passage.
1t is early morning when we come on
deck. We cast our eyes abroad upon the
waste of waters just as we have done
every morning of the six days already
slipped away. Far in the distance pro-
jecting above the transparent azure of the
placid sea, land is seen. Nearer and
nearer we approach the welcome shore.
How delightful to feast our eyes upon
the green slopes, the shimmering lagoons
and the sentineled mountain peaks stand
ing over all. AS leisurely we steam
along within 200 feet of the island shore
and intently scan each changing scene,
delight to wonder grows. Above and
and before us among those island peaks
and soft phosphate rocks, swept so long
by ocean winds, we gaze on spring
points and slender turrets all unadorned,
with frowning forts and ponderous guns
upon the ramparts high, all pointing to-
wards the sea-and yet a hundred other
things with figures and with shapes our
active fancy does not find it difficult to
form.
We round a beach of shining sand,
background for a streak of water, near
the shore, of richest green. The pilot
comes on board. The captain yields to
him his place upon the bridge. Now the
ship makes for narrow passage-per-
haps 100 feet in width-tha leads be-
tween two ancient looking forts into the
harbOr and lays quite near the wharf.
The jolly captain. who has braved the
stormy seas for many years, gives orders
to let 90 the anchor and make fast the
ship, for this is the Dutch island of Gu
racoa. ID. n. BURKE.
